The environment is just super cozy! It's downstairs, nestled in a basement that gives a very rustic vibe. Exposed brick and cement. Our waitress was nice. The Italian dressing was delicious! It's more of a creamy Italian. I went with their hibiscus tea. It was lite and refreshing but I wish it wa a little sweet. The mac and cheese was a huge portion with massive chunks of the pulled pork! But... it was lacking flavor. Incase really disappointed with my choice. Want an adventure, head to the bathroom. It's like a scavenger hunt through the kitchen! Check out the merch. My husband left with a sweatshirt that had a cool leather logo stitched in. Very different so we couldn't pass up buying one. read more

This has to be one of the more interesting places I have gone in the last week or so. After parking, I went down the stairs into the basement of what almost felt like a prohibition style speakeasy. There was natural brick everywhere and little piggies lining every corner of the place. I sat at the bar and sampled a number of their beers, I think it was eight out of 10. They do serve food as well and since it wasn't quite dinner time, I opted for the special which was butternut squash bisque. Holy cow was this delicious! Thick and rich and warming, and served with a piece of brown bread that was just perfect for dipping. I will definitely go back here again anytime I am in the area. read more

Good food, great beer, chill atmosphere, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Not sure if they're still doing the Sunday brunch but we use to like to ride our motorcycles there for that. read more

Excellent breakfast, highly recommend Vibrant downtown location along the banks of the Israel River Mimosa flights read more

Overall the service is below average and the food is too. I want to like it and wish it was better. It has potential.

Updating this review because after several years we came back and the place seems to be doing well and bringing a good vibe to the community. Some of the food could use small improvements but overall this is a good place to have around read more

My husband and I came for our anniversary dinner. The service was great and fast. We had the key lime cider which was delicious! I had their take on a Cuban sandwich with a mustard slaw. So good! Especially with some of their homemade BBQ sauce on it. My husband had the beef nachos which he devoured. The white cheddar jalapeno sauce was amazing! read more

Camping up in the mountains for the weekend and needed to get off the campground. What a treat! Great outdoor seating on the Israel river. Relatively small menu but 4 items in and I'm ear to ear! Quick service and an above par rasberry cider was the icing on the cake. I'll be back!!!!!!!! read more

Excellent visit. The restaurant is located in the basement of this large 4-story building. It used to be the bank's safe area and they use the old safe as their freezer now. Low ceilings and not that large of an area. Tiny bar that can hold only about 6 people. Service, starting with the seating hostess, was open and friendly. Wife ordered a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. I went for the Reuben. Both were very good. She ordered a Porter beer, and I had the IPA special. They were very satisfying. Because the ceilings are low and it's a tiny place, it's a bit on the noisy side....but that also makes it lively, kind of like an Irish pub. We will come back again. read more

It was a beautiful (75 degree) October day to eat a safe lunch outside during Covid-19. Unfortunately, after our beers were served, a bee and a fly both flew into my drink. The bee took off, the fly died and floated. When I asked the server for another, she said "I'll go get a spoon" and took off. Really? Gross! When she came back with a spoon, I told her I thought she was kidding! She refused to replace my drink, said alcohol would kill any germs. I told her "flies land on dog crap" and "I was not in agreement". When she finally did replace it, I was given a short lecture on how I'd better not ask for another, it's not their policy to replace drinks, because when eating outside, "nature is expected"! Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Tip meter down! I suggested she talk to management as I wasn't sure if she was making the decision on her own, but she said she had. Our lunch was pretty good, but would I go there again? NOPE! read more

We waited 15 min to be seated but the service was phenomenal. I had the mushroom soup it was creamy and delicious paired with their bread I also had the Mac and cheese which was very good. Finally we finished off with a fruit tartlet. Everything was excellent 10/10 I would eat here again. read more

We were looking for a spot to eat dinner and we came across the copper pig brewery. We walked up and were immediately seated outside. The seating outside was fantastic and it was right next to a stream which was nice. We ordered a bunch of food and the food came out promptly and was well prepared and very flavorful. We highly recommend stopping by here if you have the chance and are in the area. read more

Beer drinkers paradise. Why would you be in Norther NH? Cause it's freakin sweet! Here's my 5 point awesomeness review. 1. The place has charm. Its downstairs in a basement/Abby type vibe and very cool. It's warm and comfortable. Seating is distanced, staff wear masks and handgel is available all over the place. 2. Waitstaff know their stuff and are quite friendly without being overbearing and up in your business. I informed the hostess I planned to read a while after my meal and to let me know if I was bar-hogging. Wasn't a problem even during lunch. I'm not saying you should table-camp but if you let them know ahead of time they'll try to accommodate you. 3. Beer selection was bananas. I had a Carmel-Coconut Amber (6% ABV) and it was nice and smooth. Not a lot of either taste jumping out at me but it had a mild sweetness that I really appreciated. Copper lager (5.3%) was less sweet but not bitter. Had a smooth woody aftertaste. And the PB & J's (Peanutbutter with strawberry in a Downtown Patty Brown nut brown beer 5.2%) was tasty and filling. From the northwest our breweries have like 9 IPAs and 1 or 2 normal people brews. The Pig has a little for everyone and I suggest you come check it out. 4. I had the pulled pork sliders with Carolina vinegar based sauce. Served with potato chips and a pickle. Wow! That was a lot of flavor in a medium sized plate. So much goodness. 5. Growlers are fairly priced for 32 & 64 oz takehomes. Their swag is cool too. "The best beer in the world is the one in my hand". read more

Great beer, great food and an awesome dog friendly patio right on the River. Everything was hand made including the bbq sauce and cheese dip. read more

Best food and drinks in the area! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Our first experience a few years back wasn't the best. Recently we went back and sat at the bar, best experience we've had. We went back the next night with a few family members. read more

Fun place for the area. Beer selection was good. Food was good, nothing real special but if you are in area you need to go.

Stopped in with my husband after a drive through Lancaster NH and found this gem. Although I am a confessed NON beer drinker, I have now been converted. For you non beer drinkers I recommend the 4 beer sampler; the Kilkenny Irish Red, blue berry wheat beer, and the grow a pear cider and hits the mark cider! Jessica our sever was amazing and helped us navigate through the beer /cider selections. Jessica was amazing and allowed me to sample the ciders and red. We had the pretzel for an appetizer and shared the grilled ham and cheese with bacon and tomato... the pretzel and bread from a local bakery in town (polish Princess), again AMAZING! We will be back when visiting from Connecticut! Great find!!! Don't pass this place by! read more

Return visit here was a bit off day ,draft beer on a saturday at 12 pm was bitter and both people in are group had instant #2 .taps should be cleaned and run out prior to serving tap beer ,food was luke warm burrito ,service was good , read more

Come for drinks and you won't regret it. They have 8 beers to choose from and it's worth doing a flight of 8. My mother and mother in law are wine drinkers only. They were won over by the selection of beers here. My mother in law fell in love with their pumpkin spice beer and my mother fell in love with the coffee flavor downtown patty brown. They both loved the raspberry sour now THAT was my favorite. It was crips with a sour bite of raspberry. The food is very limited that's just my opinion i wish they had more food options. We chose to just have drinks and then find a place to eat in town. Their shirts you can buy are $20 and slim fitted and you can not purchase beer in cans only growlers. I WILL go back the beer was amazing i am so glad this place is in Lancaster. All 3 of us bought a shirt!! read more

We stopped in for lunch on our long drive back from a ski week. We were just going by the sign on Main Street. I have the Asian spiced pork sandwich with pineapple and wife had the fish tacos along with a great red beer and homemade ginger ale. The pork was a patty and was expecting more of a pulled pork style. The flavor was good and only notes of Asian spice. The fish taco looked great and were reported to be very good. The pork sandwich came with the rest of plate covered in potato chips and sad looking pickle. It could have been done a little better. For a brew pub it was very good. We would like to come back. read more

Decent selection of brews. I was a bit disappointed on the NE style IPA, but it was probably just my expectations. The Panty RIPpa was unique and something I hadn't tried before. Good selection of food. Loved the outdoor seating setup, with beautiful views of the river nearby. Offers booster seats for your little ones and you can bring your four-legged friends to the outdoor section as well. read more

Wonderful open air seating along a small river flowing through town. Enjoyed a tasty porter and pork sliders. Glad I stopped by. read more

Great beer selection so go try it out, you won't be disappointed. Nice friendly ambiance.

Excellent beer, food & location. Nothing like sitting over the Israel river in the warm October sun & enjoying a great meal. Annoyed it's taken me this long to go here. read more

I don't know who is giving this place 4 and 5 stars. I travel for a living and have eaten at thousands of restaurants and this experience was a one of the worst. We arrived at 5:25 and the staff had to decide if they would let us in as they close at 6 pm! After we got to our table we watched them turn down two other families who arrived at 5:32 and 5:35. Little did they know this was a blessing in disguise. Ice tea was horrible, beer was average at best. The pretzel was served with a no taste watered down "cheese" sauce. The haddock sandwich was maybe 4 ounces of meat hidden in a large bun, DO NOT GET THE PULLED PORK SLIDERS. The meat is dry and tasteless. The BBQ sauce is on the table is awful. My burrito which was considered a staple here could have come out of a Swanson frozen dinner. Save your time and money.. keep driving to the next town if Smoking T's is closed. I'm not posting this review to be mean I just don't want anyone else to make our mistake. read more

I went here with my girlfriend and my dog. The outdoor seating is great and the Capone Cream Ale is incredible. They are dog friendly and the staff is very friendly. If you find yourself in northern NH this is a great place to eat. Their pretzel with cheese sauce is amazing! read more

Worst food I've ever had! I should have looked at the other reviews. Wait staff was anything but accommodating. I got the tiny haddock sandwich served with store bought potato chips. Ordered the homemade sweet tea which tasted like toilet water and served in a plastic cup. Save your money and go elsewhere or starve. read more

Brilliant find - cosy atmosphere with fabulous comfort food and unique beers. Just what we needed at the end of a horrible wet stormy drive The beefy mac 'n cheese was HUGE ........ I tried my best to finish it but still left about a quarter on the plate . My friend's veggie chilli bowl was just perfect read more

We traveled 40 miles to go to a dog friendly brewery that was opened before 4pm. When we arrived the waitress's first words were he's not allowed in here! We told her we plan on sitting outside on the patio. She then said no alcohol could be served on the patio unless someone was outside. I guess you need to have a baby sitter while having a few beers at this brewery. We double checked the web site and there were no patio hours listed or information on where dogs can be at this brewery. read more

Worst food in town... DO NOT GO HERE. I had the pulled pork sliders and they do not come with barbecue sauce on them but they are VERY dry, doesn't taste good and everyone was disappointed.. drinks were terrible, had no soda, small portions and everything was dry and expensive. Cheese sauce for the pretzels is awful and watery. No flavor. Reviews are either older (maybe they were good at one point?) or they are family members just lying because this place is HORRIBLE! read more

Liked this place a lot. Service was great, food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cool. Nice views and sounds from the river and inside gave that Old English pub feel. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because the beer was hit or miss. Our group had some of everything on the list as we normally do and half were good and the others were lackluster. Loved the variety they gave some just seemed to be brewed with more skill than others. I would definitely go again. read more

We dropped into the Copper Pig last night with a group of 12 celebrating a Bachelorette party. The workers and even the patrons could not have been better sports with all the shenanigans that usually accompany a girls celebration! The beer was great and the food really was unexpectedly good. I had Nachos and the 3-cheese panini and both were excellent. The staff here is really what makes this place. Everyone there was friendly and smiling. Would definitely go back and would recommend! read more

Love the Copper Pig! My ONLY complaint is that they don't have much of a selection of alternative drink choices. I get it, it's a brewery lol that's why I gave a full 5. Went with my fiancée and I don't drink beer, so a soda would have been great. Settled for some sort of Hibiscus Tea; it's was okay but Excellent food, excellent waitstaff. Will definitely be back read more

Amazing beer and food best in the area! Service was excellent by our waitress Carrie who took great care of us! Brewery owner came up to us and gave us great detail about the beer and the history behind the place. Definitely will be back!! Worth more than 5 stars read more

I've waited to write a review after I had been to the Cooper Pig more than once! Now that I've been three times, I have to say it has been a great experience each time! On each visit we sat outside and were promptly greeted by staff. It was very busy Labor Day weekend due to the holiday and Lancaster Fair but the staff were timely and friendly, even though it got very busy, very quickly! I ordered a beer (Kilkenny Red Ale which I found smooth and tasty...and the only beer I've ordered since) and my husband has ordered a flight each time. The food choices are limited but come on... it's a brewery... that's why I'm there!! That being said, the Nachos were very, very good and I would definitely order them again. We didn't eat every time we were there but we plan on exploring the menu more on our next visit! I say check it out if you find yourself in the North Country!! read more
